This unique Lake Highlands-area dive bar is located in a strip shopping mall just a stone’s throw from White Rock Lake. With plenty of TVs and seating, the neighborhood sports bar makes for a good location to catch a big game while enjoying White Rock’s drink specials. At night, you can’t miss the joint thanks […]

White Rock Stables

The hubbub of nearby Northwest Highway seems a million miles away when you’re roaming the grounds of this grassy historic landmark, where many of the city’s well-to-do horse owners store their animals and come to ride them. The real attraction for mere mortals, though, is a chance to spot the illustrious peacocks strutting their stuff […]

Whitehall Exchange

There’s a certain art-forward, laid-back feel to the restaurants and bars popping up in Oak Cliff’s Bishop Arts District. Whitehall Exchange, a relaxed wine bar on the corner of Bishop and Seventh, follows the shared attitude. It feels nothing like a stereotypical wine bar. It feels almost like an old neighborhood haunt with its pressed […]

Whole Foods

Founded in 1980 in Austin, this peddler of all-natural and organic produce and products features a wide range of Texas-grown foods, but if imported French butter is your thing, Whole Foods has that too. Each department’s staff is knowledgeable, chipper and willing to hold your hand when indecision strikes. For example, the cheesemongers will take […]

Whole Foods Market Highland Park

Founded in 1980 in Austin, this mega-peddler of all-natural and organic produce and products (including health and beauty) has stores that are easily navigable and in certain instances pricey. Cost aside, the inventory gives preference to local wares and fare, obvious by all the laminated rectangles touting “LOCAL.” Of course, if imported French butter is […]

Whole Foods Market Preston Forest

The parking lot of this grocery store is typically jam-packed with Mercedes and BMWs, a sure sign that you’re about to enter the fancy-pants organic world of Whole Foods Market. This location isn’t the largest in Dallas, but an in-house bakery, meat and seafood counters with a focus on naturally raised and sustainable products, a […]

Wicked Butcher

Wicked Butcher is a downtown Dallas steakhouse located in the Comerica Bank Tower, which reopened in 2024 after facing challenges from the pandemic, protests in downtown and a hard freeze. It has gained popularity, ranking No. 6 on Yelp’s best new restaurants list. The restaurant is known for its impressive popovers served with rosemary butter […]

Wild About Harry’s

Besides an array of hot dogs, Harry’s is also known for frozen custard, an egg-rich ice cream that’s superbly smooth, creamy and dense. In addition to the standard chocolate and vanilla, rotating flavors might include cookies ‘n’ cream, mango or toffee crunch. A generously sized single scoop with a topping – think sprinkles, candy or […]

Wild Salsa

This isn’t your standard Mexican-American restaurant buried in a suburban strip mall. Wild Salsa sits smack in the middle of downtown, across from the lush grass, sculptures and dog walkers of Main Street Garden. Serving up great tacos priced from $2.50 to $3.50 apiece and clever sides, like dressed-up elotes and black bean cakes, the […]

Will Call

On approach, this spot has straight sports-bar vibes. TVs deck the walls, all tuned into a game; wings and Philly cheesesteaks are heavy hitters on the menu. However, you should start with a salad, which would be odd at a sports bar, right? That’s the first sign that something here is “different.” The bowl of […]

Willie D’s

Willie D’s is a laid back Knox-Henderson ice house with elevated bar food and oysters. The walls are loaded with photos of Texas country musicians. And the drinks are lovely. Any of their burgers will hit the spot. Be sure to get an order of Slutty Fries, which comes topped with bacon, cheddar cheese, chives, […]

Windmill Lounge

There’s a line in bartender Jason Kosmas’ book, Speakeasy, that talks about the benefit of hanging out in the old man’s bar. Wisdom is passed down, advice is doled out, strong drinks are poured. Windmill owner and barman Charlie Papaceno is certainly no old man, but his bar seems to be the go-to drinkery for […]

The Wine Therapist

Inside this Lakewood wine cafe, the vibe is half wine cellar/tasting room and half warm, inviting living room. There is a nice variety of comfortable seating from couches to tables and chairs, hundreds of bottles of wine displayed on the walls, and a smoke-friendly patio outside. The Wine Therapist also features a food menu designed […]
